Treasury - how bad is it to be rich?

[Aesculapius]

Constant military production is a sign of inexperience.

Really?

Why?

I wouldn't even bother with that one mate. It seems a rather ridiculous statement, a viscious little jibe even.
If you have the money, then spend it.
Each to their own. If building massive armies and conquering by sheer weight of numbers is your thing, then thats a sound, fun way to control the known world.
If micro management, designated armies for particular tasks, a strict retraining schedule and peasant garrisons is your thing, then hey, go for it. Both are fun and very effective ways of winning the game.
To say that you are inexperienced because you like to send numerous armies to all the corners of the world and keep a constant supply of fresh troops available is just plain ....hmm.....silly.

Gifting: Lowering your treasury and increasing the AI treasury to give them crappy traits. Me like!

Just my opinion or may gameplay style. I never bothered with traits. Right now I'm playing RTR 5.41 and as long as I have governors in town/city I'll be happy. The extra general I have is the one leading an army , even a newbie with no star. That makes my game/battle more difficult I guess (I'm playing Emperor/Emperor).

Never been in debt (except the few first turns) but never totally rich either.
